As a truck driver myself.. a bit of advice.. your setup was good getting loaded but once the trailer starts turning watch the tandems and theyll let you know where the trailer is going, also, you dont always need to have the steer tires turned, you can keep them straight at times and the trailer woll keep turning but not as much/as quickly as when the wheels are turned. Otherwise, good job dapper
@@obzu7583 backing trailers is a lot harder than seems obvious. there's a reason it requires special training and testing before we let people just do it.
Kosmo bought some traffic cones somewhere and was causing mayhem with them. You could use them to keep traffic out of your way when backing on busy streets.
And pro tip, when backing up and it looks good, let the wheels of the truck follow the trailer. You keep them straight and then you just keep increasing the steering angle without actually making distance, but if you follow the trailer and keep the truck-trailer angle the same you'll do a lot smoother
Trucker here: Tip for spots like your second delivery, if you have room to scoop into the docking area during your setup it can help you get a better angle for your back, especially if you don't have a lot of room in front of the dock. Also, going into grass or over curbs, or blocking traffic in the city during backs is valid as long as you don't do any serious damage lol. Your backing challenge is say you didn't start close enough to the hole, but otherwise it was a great job. You can look up backing guides for 90° and 45° backing and find a couple good short TH-cam vids shot on drones, or drawings. The trailers not being straight causing you to have less clearance is actually pretty accurate tho!
That’s the nice thing about video games, you can move “ obstacles” without much repercussion. And the AI of the cars are sometimes spot on, I think you did pretty well with the route.
Great job Dapper. I know roughly 5 truckers by name and for the same company and they mess up at times. We know when they messed up when they have to pull ahead enough to fix their park job. Some areas you are able to pull through to the parking. I also know a handful of other CDL drivers that deliver packages and they too make mistakes with their parking. Just keep practicing. A great game to try out is 18 Wheels of Steel American Long Haul or any type of 18 Wheels of Steel. You are in charge of a semi company. It is pretty realistic and very simple to learn how to drive a semi. Most of your backups were setup correctly, just watch the steering.
Dapper...the best way to earn money in this game is to take the farm pickup truck with a small trailer and pick up the blue containers from the Military base. There's 7 containers. Once you deliver it, you just wait a few seconds for the boxes to respawn and you can take them back to the military base and make a LOT of money really fast.
(There's actually 10 crates. There's a map of their locations somewhere on Steam (if you google their locations it will show in the results), there's 5 blue crates on either side of the road through the base)
@@MotoDash1100 I'll have to keep this in mind. I've usually just been doing runs of the power transformers up the mountain to the top gas station from that harbor town, since those pay good money, it's just hard getting a stock semi up through the snow.
As someone who knows just a tad, its mostly steering and counter-steering so don't just hold the turn try to adjust while it's going. It might give your truck better angles to readjust! Good work Dapski!😊
This is 3 months old for me but i would love to see more of dapper driving a semi truck i enjoyed watching it and would like to see him improve on something that is hard in real life
As an irl trucker, what I would of done is went around the block if possible and sight sided that stop (meaning driver side back where i can see where the trailer is going inside the cab) also sight side or blind side i would of pulled the cab into the lot a bit putting the trailer more into the lot and using all the space to my advantage and putting the trailer in a better starting And don't feel bad dapper, you kept the rubber side down lol. You'll get better at it.
From my experience from the game. The distances on the destinations are if you go in a straight line. In the bottom left corner under the mini map. You have the ingame time and then the gps distance. That shows how far you have to drive to get to the destination. Also i founf the fastest way to get money in to run shipping containers from one of the truck parks towards the bottom left of the map. Doing those i do the 7k deliverys and you get that money for delevering the goods and the money again for returning the shipping container
If you end up wanting to do more trucking stuff you can always try ATS (American Truck Simulator) or ETS2 (Euro Truck Simulator 2) which does have implemented multiplayer for a while now which is also fun in my opinion
I drove truck but not for a long time but I still give them the respect that they deserve. It is hard when you first start to back a trailer my only thing that I saw that I would like to point out is when he backed into the burger delivery that is what I was told was a blind back. My trainer told me that is the hardest to back cause you don't have a lot of vision and it is easier to back from the driver side and to get into tight spaces it is better to do a 90 degree back which is putting the trailer at what looks like a bad angle but is not bad unless you over do it. But for a first time not bad at all Dapper keep making money so you can fool your friends which isn't hard for you from what I see in your videos
As a truck driver, for a beginner you are doin good. As for hpw to get in if the loading docks were full back in all the way from the entrance and use the trailer tires as your guide to get into the dock. Also trucks generally lose alot of speed going up hill as we way anywhere from 40 tons to 63.5 tons up here in the north
semis have a special right that is more of a requirement but it gives you the right to go onto oncoming lanes to make a right turn ether if its on the road you are on now or the next one 14:37
Best route i found so far is (fuel) Harbour >>> Pumkin farm, (empty) Pumpkin farm >>> Ranch, (milk) Ranch >>> Cheese Factory, (cheese pallets/boxes) Cheese Factory >>> where-ever. Good payout and it's different enough to not get boring instead of the same route over and over.
I'm a heavy equipment mechanic. Dont know anything about this game, but you were in gear 6 low. Flip the switch to go into 1 high or called 7th gear. Also, that truck is actually considered a tractor, not a truck. Federal annual inspection paperwork that maintenance people have fill out, label it that because it pulls trailers with its fifth wheel. If the truck has a solid frame mounted piece that doesn't just pull a trailer for a living, it's a truck. Example: Dump trucks, water trucks, and box trucks are all trucks.
Trucker here lol. Let off the gas a little as you’re getting into gear. You can’t really gas to gear needs to be eased into gear. Also those cars angered me😂😂 maybe buy cones and put them out if you plan to do more deliveries more often.
I work in logistics and I started out driving trucks. You kind of set yourself up for failure by using a semi-trailer for city deliveries. In Australia we would use a smaller rigid truck or even a large van for this type of delivery.
As a tractor trailer driver. It hurt watching your second delivery. 😅 Reversing tractor trailer is mostly about the set up before reversing. You had room to swing into where the delivery was a little before pulling left across the road. Your trailer would have been aiming towards the marker and less steering input required to get it round.
Ok, picture this: You are hiking and have been at it for around 10 hours. You suddenly realize you're lost. You know there's civilization at the top of the mountain. You find a guy and he says " You're about to die and you're tired and can't go on? don't worry, It's all uphill from here... Wouldn't be nice
As someone who has driven 26 foot box trucks for work and played almost 300 hours of ATS (granted, not the most accurate of experiences), you're first few times are going to take forever and will look horrible from an aerial view. Once you get the hang of it, it gets to the point you can almost just whip that trailer right where it should be. I'm at a point where I can almost back a trailer in using just one mirror (obviously, not advisable).
I'm a trucker, but even I wouldn't try backing in to some of those places in first person in the game. Most game mirrors suck and you can't move your head as freely, plus you can always get out and look in tight spots in the real world. Using third person is my virtual get out and look. Lol
Also if you're backing up with a trailer and the trailer starts to veer left or right, you don't have to stop and go forward really, just adjust the steering wheel and continue to control the trailer.. also im not sure if you're able to move the tandums but if you can it'll help you backup better with the trailer
Maybe you should of practiced reversing into tight spaces and stiff just so you know what you're doing but a little hint just incase you do more deliveries and you have to reverse, go forward and go on an angle, it'll be easier
With truckers especially the ones who drive the semis are supposed to go up hills at a slow speed.. what for? I have no idea honestly lol, the same thing goes with buses as well, i think it has to do with putting stress on the engine if you're trying to go fast the RPMs are fighting to grow while going uphill so its better to go slow so you don't blow the engine up or anything else
Trucking for year you handled that trailer surprisingly well and it's even worse for real atleast ehat I hauled the truck would've beena little longer and the trailers were 53' not 30' lik in the game
Hi, can I ask one thing? How ddid you change the color of gps path to blue? If it's the gps path. I have yellow and it's nearly invisible. I tried to find a guide but without any result. Thank you.
@@Piallator78 Oh right. In that case blue may be the line to get to the taxi, since that's one of the things that game wants him to do. Looks like it is going to that garage, anyway.
I remember when going to attend my 9th class examinations On the way we were greeted by a truck with a huge container taking a U-turn. It covered the whole road because the maneuver aren't easy in real life and as a matter of fact the road on both sides had 5 lanes . We had to stop and wait the truck to move and make a way other wise were gonna crash into it
You can put down traffic cones on the road and traffic won't bug you while maneuvering the trailer on the road. But I forgot where you can get the cones :P
Does it makes sense not to rent the largest trucks? Or do you get jobs according to your truck type? So if you have a delivery in the city you could use a smaller truck? :) Great video. Fun to watch your pain and agony :p
Absolutely, the smaller truck he passed over does wonders in tight turning spaces due to smaller nose and length. You get truck jobs based on trailer type, 'truck type' has nothing to do with it. Note: you can accept a job for say 10 items while driving a pick up truck, however you'd be limited to loading what can reasonably fit in the truckbed.
When going uphill in a truck you need to drop your gear down when you start going slower. Otherwise you can stall out. You also need to go down the other side in the same gear so you don't end up burning out your brakes. Also, when moving trailers and backing up them up you need to turn them to the point where the trailer starts to pivot, then go straight with your turning to keep pivoting the trailer and when its almost at the point of where you want it to turn you have to turn your wheels the opposite way of what you first turned to follow the trailer. Then when everything is straightened out you back up straight. It will slot the trailer in where you want it to go. You also, need to take WIDE turns when you make your turns with trailer.

Yeah. For his first time ever he did pretty good

That's kinda what they actually do in real life. If the road is needed to back into a slot the traffic will be cut for some time.

This is actually an accurate representation of what distribution trucking feels and sometimes looks like

Tip for spots like your second delivery, if you have room to scoop into the docking area during your setup it can help you get a better angle for your back, especially if you don't have a lot of room in front of the dock.

when u drive a truck use manual transmission so up the hull u can keep it in a low gear to have more speed
Does 6L mean the truck is in low gear and why you couldn't get higher speeds?
Oh for sure, when you were heading downhill it shifted up into high
You should have bought cones and put them down on the street to block it off!
from my experience in this game, doing logging runs in a rented truck it hell because of lack of power
Hi guys could some one please tell me why to buy a trailer? Is any difference if I purchase one or just spawn one. Does it worth to buy trailers???
at least the sports car driver nearly causing a accident due to impatiens and stupidity is realistic
Did you try Euro Truck Simulator 2 or American Truck Simulator?
Please make more of these
U can send busses to go out without having to drive them and you will earn money🙂
